thumper Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Sounds like that pesky Neon can switch hands and still win.Congrats to Charlie on a great win in a new cae,first time out.Thumper missed the race because he believed the weatherman.80% chance of rain so we did not load Friday.About 1:30 Sat we decided to load up and it turned black and a heavy downpour so I put the truck back in the carport.Then I popped the cork on a bottle of Crown and proceded to watch motorsports on TV.Within 30 minutes it cleared up and never rained again. Im not going to believe those weathermen again.Its tough though with the price of diesel and the distance I have to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Take the personal feud somewhere else, please. Thanks. [On edit]: Since one of the parties to this feud ignored my request (above), I have removed the comments that started the feud. There are websites that specialize in name-calling, threats, foul language, overly aggresive behavior and questionalbe sexual orientations. However, Texas Speed Zone is not one of them.

I do have to say Oldtimer that Neon was all over the track during practice and during the heat but from what i saw he got it all figured out by the feature and did a great job of winner the feature.We all thought there was a different driver in the car during the feature lol but nope it was Charlie taken it to a win!!

ThunderWife Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 i saw him in practice was sliding up in turns was to high in turns after the track cooled down and he started to stay in the middle he did a great job my opinion he might have placed second in the pro 4 race two of them did not have a chance against the 30 car that is just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderWife Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 poorboy they should have had 10in slicks that is what tire the pro4s run. txtwister why would you run that car putting the wear on the car and take the chance to smash something up racen cars that have little to no chance to beat you why don't you build a thunder or super stock that way it would help CC out by putting another car on the track where there are more car to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you there this weekend? Was your family and friends there? I think we had about 20 or so in the stands. If you were there you probably saw us taking pictures with the kids during intermission at the flagstand. Were having them developed and giving them to the kids when they come back this weekend, or next weekend. Point is were tring to help the track to get people in the stands and cars on the track. For the record the car was not built to run at the CC Bullring.....its actually 5 years old. It was built here and raced on a national level by me and my family. Before this season we raced it only 2 times....once in California where 40+ cars showed up and once at the Bullring in Las Vegas where we finished 5th. Now, if you drive racecars you know about that itch we get when we walk out and see our car sitting in the garage collecting dust. Before this year we had to drive 1500 miles one way to race. We showed up at CC to "blow the dust off" at the beginning of this season along with Ariel Arredondo and his Pro4 and Mr Rhoads liked what he saw and asked us if we would race once a month and try to build a class. Of course we agreed. I hope this answered that part of your question. As far as building a car for another class i dont think that is necessary to the big picture. How many cars do you think are sitting in a garage like ours was? Those are the ones we need to get, the ones that are built and collecting dust. I think were doing our part. On a side note, anyone who shows up to race is a winner in my book. Oh by the way, that was my 60 year old father that won the heat race.....were all very proud of him. The last and only other race he has ever competed in was in 2003 where he finished mid-pack with our 2002 Championship TPS car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderWife Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 yes i was there so where two of my little one iam glad you let your dad have fun in the car second i was not trying to start nothing most likely you will not find a car like the 30 in 100 mile area the 66 but it is not like your that is why i said why dont you builb a diffrent type of car what ever they payed to the three of you could be put in the other three classes more people have cars like the ones that are already racen they might come out for more money i dont know if they will or not jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where were gonna put our stock for now. The 2 shows we made on the west coast were as good as the old ROMCO shows we used to attend. Nice clean fast cars. We would love to be able to do that right here in South Texas. There are more Pro4's that didnt show up due to engine problems and whatnot. Were gonna try to get everyone together for our next race, but we know that building the class will take a while. We want to use this year to get a better start for next year. If we can get 6 or so that would be a success considering Texas has never had a PRO4 class anywhere. From there we will build. I believe were doing it at the right track. Mr Rhoads has a lot of faith, and we do too. Did your kids get a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4-STANGS RACING Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It was a great night of racing. Alot better than the weekend before. Charlie did a good job driving and winning his first race in his neon. Glad Randy "wallbanger" Smith had a good night coming in 3rd. We had to work on the car every night of the week just so we could make the race. But if you want to race sometimes that's what you got to do. We still have some work to do on the car but it will be ready for this weeknd. So get those cars ready so we can have another great weekend of racing.

DRIVER'S WIFE Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Even with a low car count it was a good night of racing. My kids loved that 30 car. They were even more impressed with how it smoked the others(no offense Oldtimer ). The kids don't care who wins in the pits, they care who is there and paying attention to them (candy, pics, etc...). The 30 car did pay attention to those kids, my kids. My husband races and they spend every weekend at the track, but they were one of the first ones on the track to take pictures. The kids never get tired of that stuff. So my point is props to you txtwister!! I also heard what you said in the end about helping anyone who needs help building a car. Again, what a nice gesture to make. I believe most of the drivers are willing to help anyone get started to improve car count. My husband drives a bomber that was on the streets only 2 years ago. It doesn't have to cost a fortune. Thanks for the show every Saturday to all of the drivers and it will eventually pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
